How did Jigsaw help you?

Jigsaw gave me the support and encouragement to apply myself and follow my dream to audition for drama school. Being a part of the youth theatre was especially valuable because I was able to learn about staging and performing an entire play. I worked with all different types of actors of varying ages and was able to learn from them also. It was amazing for my confidence and social skills as I made friends for life! I will always have a deep love for Jigsaw and everything they do to nurture talent and promote confidence and passion in children of all ages.
